Jorge Nicola has insisted that reports of Tottenham’s interest in Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo are entirely fabricated.
It has emerged over the past few days that Tottenham are expected to sign a marquee central midfielder before the transfer window closes, particularly with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele expected to leave the club (Football Insider).
Danilo, who has had an impressive first six months in the Premier League since his €20m (£17m) arrival from Palmeiras in January, is one of the players mooted as a potential target for Spurs.
ESPN reported a couple of weeks ago that Forest are bracing themselves for offers for the 22-year-old on the back of his impressive start to life in English football.
Brazilian journalist Diego Firmino even suggested a few days ago that Spurs and Liverpool are both eyeing moves for the youngster before the transfer window closes.

Tottenham and Liverpool are not interested in Danilo
However, Nicola has now revealed that he has spoken to Danilo’s representative, who has rubbished those transfer rumours.
He said on his official YouTube channel: “There are reports that Tottenham and Liverpool are interested in the player (Danilo).
“Before recording this video, I talked to Tiago Salles, who is one of Danilo’s representatives. (Salles) has been responsible for the player’s career for a long time.
“Tiago insisted that (the Spurs and Liverpool links) are fake. There is no offer for us. I imagine that, if Danilo has a good season, he could be an option for these clubs in a year.”
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that none of the British outlets picked up Tottenham’s (and Liverpool’s) rumoured interest in Danilo, is perhaps evidence that there was not anything concrete behind the reports.
However, as Nicola mentioned, I would not be surprised if Spurs go after the Brazilian midfielder in January or next summer if he continues in the same vein for Forest.
